The ‘Anne de Kiev’ brigade is under investigation in Ukraine for abuse of power and desertions after recently returning from France, where it received training. Reports suggest that nearly 1,700 out of 4,500 soldiers have deserted, with allegations of poor organization during their formation. Key lawmaker Mariana Bezougla has criticized the military leadership, labeling the brigade as a ‘zombie unit’ used for publicity. French President Emmanuel Macron had previously visited the brigade during their training.
